Luke 13: 22-35 "Warm encircling"
A prayer, in the form of a collect, based on a bible reading for today
A collect based on Luke 13: 22-35
Christ, you lament for those who do not know life in all its fullness.
But you invite each person, from every corner of the earth, into your warm encircling.
So, when we hesitate to journey with you through the narrow door,
Reveal to us what lies within; nourishing love which gives birth to our peace and joy.
Amen
I hope you find this prayer useful in reflecting on your journey of faith today.
The image that accompanies the prayer today is by Stanley Spencer. It is called “The Hen” and is part of the “Christ in the wilderness” collection.
